My kids and I had a great time. The lanai overlooking the pool and beach was great. Perfect for families with kids so you don’t have to cart everything to the beach. You can go back and forth all day long. Easy access to Sarasota airport, close to Anna Maria and st Armonde circle!

Great location, pool and beach access

While not too fancy, we found this very comfortable and it is in a great location near Harry’s market and restaurant, the center shops and restaurants and within walking proximity to a bike rental. We had a hitch with the lock box and the TV, but these were quickly resolved and we recommend it. .

Poor layout. Pricey. But very close to beach.

84 steps from unit front door to beach. Front door opens into bedroom; unavoidable. Shower head needed replaced. Poor supply of silverware and dishes; spend a little and buy some cheap so you don't need to run the dishwasher daily. Pricey compared to better units on the island.
